UN Climate Change Conference Resources

COP 26 has brought into sharp relief fundamental challenges for developing and least developed countries, as they too seek to develop their economies to address poverty, inequality and exclusion. The outcomes reflect the complexity of making urgent efforts to address the climate crisis, of supporting the strategies and aspirations of the developing world, and of finding the necessary commitments and adequate financial support from developed countries.

tralac October Newsletter

This month’s tralac Newsletter covers what we call “systemic issues”, such as AfCFTA-related developments about which we regularly report – dispute settlement, trade costs, trade remedies and safeguards, trade governance issues, trade costs, and the future of regional economic communities – as well as topical developments such as the climate crisis.
